Effy enjoyed working with double J.
Jeff Jarrett is one of the most well known bookers in pro wrestling history. He was also a successful in ring talent in the WWE and has in the past been involved in a backstage capacity. Most recently, he was signed by the WWE in a corporate role for the promotion.
Speaking to Renee Paquette on The Sessions, Effy reflected on getting the full Jeff Jarrett experience.
“I have to brag on myself. Now that he ran back to Vince (McMahon), and maybe we’re doing a Memphis storyline where this goes longer, but I think I deserve one more match. I was at the top of the mountain. I did not die to the guitar shot that happened at Hammerstein Ballroom. I no sold a guitar shot, I’ve never seen it done from Jeff Jarrett. Second, I took The Stroke with a guitar around my neck, I’ve never seen it done before. Everybody tried to talk me out of it because it’s very dangerous, but I said, ‘I have to have this moment.’ Everyone asked, ‘How is Jeff Jarrett?’ I got the full Jeff Jarrett experience. I got to fight him, I got to lose to him, and I got to have him decide to change the finish halfway through a show. You have to get the full Jeff Jarrett and when you look back on the memoir you go, ‘Well, he got me too,’ me and Vince have that in common now,”

It is doubted that Jarrett will return to GCW and battle Effy again, but for now Effy is happy with how he left things in the promotion.
